 When searching for a user in a single site (in a network or single site
 install), addition of a leading or trailing whitespace can lead to no
 results being returned. While technically, the string with the whitespace
 isn't matched, the search string should be trimmed prior to the being used
 in the search.

 To reproduce:
 1) Go to wp-admin/users.php
 2) Assuming you have a user with name "admin", search for "admin " (note
 the trailing whitespace)
 3) No results will be returned (assuming no user with the "admin " exists)
 4) Search for "admin"
 5) The "admin" user account will be returned.

 The search term should be trimmed before sending to WP_User_Query
